Q: What is the purpose of Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif's working visit to China at this point?

A: According to my information, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will visit China, Russia and some European countries, during which he will exchange views with relevant parties on the developments of the Iranian nuclear issue. China is one stop of his visit. China is a contracting party to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and follows closely the developments of the Iranian nuclear issue. We are willing to maintain communication with Iran and other relevant parties.
